    Mimetic Devotion and Dress in Some Monastic Portraits from the Monastery of Apa Apollo at Bawit* Thelma K. Thomas For the monastery of Apa Apollo at Bawit in Middle Egypt there is good archaeological documentation, a wealth of primary written sources mainly in the form of inscriptions, and a long history of scholarship illuminating both the site and the paintings at the center of this study.1 The archaeological site (figure 1) is extensive, and densely built. The many paintings, usually dated to the sixth and seventh centuries, survive in varying states of preservation from a range of functional contexts, however in this discussion I focus on * I am grateful to Hany Takla for inviting me to present a version of this article at the Twelfth St. Shenouda-UCLA Conference of Coptic Studies in July 2010. I owe thanks as well to Jenn Ball, Betsy Bolman, Jennifer Buoncuore, Mariachiara Giorda, Tom Mathews, and Maged Mikhail. Many of the issues considered here will be addressed more extensively in a book-length study, Dressing Souls, Making Monks: Monastic Habits of the Desert Fathers. 1 The main archaeological publications include: Jean Clédat, Le monastère et la nécropole de Baouit, Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire, Memoires, vol. 12 (Cairo: Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire, 1904); Jean Clédat, Le monastère et la nécropole de Baouit, Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire, Memoires, vol. 39 (Cairo: Institut français d’archéologie orientale, 1916); Jean Maspéro, “Fouilles executées à Baouit, Notes mises en ordre et éditées par Etienne Drioton,” Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire, Memoires, vol.

  • The Earliest Christian Monks Inhabited the Desert Land of the Middle East Starting at the End of the Second Century AD

    The Earliest Christian Monks Inhabited the Desert Land of the Middle East Starting at the End of the Second Century AD

    The earliest Christian monks inhabited the desert land of the Middle East starting at the end of the second century AD. Known as the “Desert Fathers”, they left everything in search of knowing Jesus Christ. They wanted to commit themselves totally (body, soul, mind, and will) to being a disciple of the Lord Jesus with a profound holy zeal moving them to become ever more like Christ. These monks practiced integrity of character in order to remain in the state of constant humility that comes from knowing that they were loved by God. These monks sought most of all to experience union with God in the quiet of the desert and in the silence of their hearts. Here are some stories of these holy men. There once came thieves into an old monk’s cell, and they said to him, “Whatever you have in your cell, we have come to take.” And the monk said, “Take whatever you see, my sons.” So they took whatever they could find in the cell, and went away. But they forgot a little bag that was hidden in the cell. So the old monk picked the bag up, and followed after them, shouting and saying “My sons, you forgot this: take it.” But the robbers, marveling at the patience of the old monk, brought everything back into his cell, and they all did penance, saying one to another, “Truly, this is a man of God.” One of the elders used to say of Lazarus the pauper (see Luke 16:19, 3), “He is not found to have practiced a single virtue.
  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church

    SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church

    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

He heard the angel saying to him, “Do this and you will be saved.” At these words, Anthony was filled with joy and courage. He did this, and he was saved. 2.

Why are there those who are poor and those who are rich? Why do wicked men prosper and why are the just in need?” He heard a voice answering him, “Anthony, keep your attention on yourself; these things are according to the judgment of God, and it is not to your advantage to know anything about them.” [see Deuteronomy 29:29] 2 15 34.Abba Anthony once went to visit Abba Amoun 3.

Pope Shenouda III, 117th Pope of Alexandria and the See of St. Mark ABBA ANTHONY THE GREAT Anthony the Great, called 'The Father of Monks' was born in central Egypt about AD the son of peasant farmers who were Christian. In c. 269 he heard the Gospel read in church and applied to himself the words. 'Go, sell all that you have and give to the poor and come . .’ He devoted himself to a life of asceticism under the guidance of a recluse near his village. In c. 285 he went alone into the desert to live in complete solitude. His reputation attracted followers, who settled near him, and in c. 305 he came out of his hermitage in order to act as their spiritual father. Five years later he again retired into solitude. He visited Alexandria at least twice. Once during the persecution of Christians and again to support the Bishop Athanasius against heresy. He died at the age of one hundred and five. His life was written by Saint Athanasius and was very influential in spreading the ideals of monasticism throughout the Christian World. 1.
